Dealing with pawn pushing is one of the most annoying things to face when you are starting out in chess. Ideally, we want to be following chess opening principles:

but sometimes pawn pushing temporarily gets in the way of us doing that. The key to remember is that pawns have a huge weakness to them...they can't move backwards!
Literally every chess piece can always retreat and change plans if they want, but pawns don't have this luxury. Once a pawn passes a square it, by definition, loses potential influence over those squares because that pawn can NEVER go back and influence those squares it passes.
If you can eventually infiltrate your pieces behind their pawns, then those pawns can't kick your pieces back and this could be very annoying to your opponent if your pieces are actively threating things while behind their pawns.

Is there any like opening designed to stop this type of pawn pushing?
Thanks in advance
